Minuteman Road Club

Finally not raining! WNR anyone?!? Oh, I still don't have the route down by memory so we'll need someone to lead.

In. If you don't know which way to turn, you'll have to wait for me!

Says the guy who smashed the whole ride last week!

I'm out this week: work-related dinner.

I've never joined this ride but I've heard it is a good one and would like to give it a try tonight. Does the ride roll-out at 5:30 or earlier?

5:30 sharp, so arrive at 5:20 if you need to fiddle about before you start.

Here is the route (please review it so you know what to expect, it's a no drop ride but you knowing the route will make it easier for those that might have to go back to check on you should you get dropped or have a mechanical):

Regroup spots (see full map for mile markers):

- Top of Littleton Road climb (Oak Hill) at the intersection with Pinnacle at approx mile 15.5

- Intersection of Prospect Hill Road and Still River Road, about mile 20.25

- Intersection of Bare Hill Road and Green Road, about mile 23.25

- Though not "official" regroup points, the lead group often soft pedals down Stow Road and Eldridge but then hammers again along Taylor Road all the way to the Boxboro/W.Acton intersection (mile 31.5)

- Again, soft pedal/regroup on S. Acton for a little bit then set up pace line/leadout for town line sprint at approx. mile 33.

Thanks for the tips. I'll be ready to roll at 5:30 and I do know all of those roads already...but hope not to be dropped

Found a sitter. I'm in.
